June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Charlotte assistive tech ppt2
1.
2. Working with students who have
special needs
Inclusion is very fair and beneficial to all students, those
with special needs and those without
Special needs children
Rise to the occasion and try harder to do things instead of having
them done by others
Develop social skills by interacting with other students and
observing positive role models
Children without special needs
Accept those that are different from them
Peer tutor and help those with special needs
Boosts self confidence
Helping them further understand topics by helping others
understand
3. How can you describe working
with special needs students?
Challenging
Have to adapt almost every lesson to meet their needs
All needs are different
As with all learners, not just ones with special needs
Often have to do re-teaching
Helpful when you have a SPED teacher and/or paraprofessional, as I do (I have both!)
Rewarding
Seeing that “light bulb” go off in their eyes is amazing!
They know they are different from the other students, even in kindergarten
When they have the same or similar product as their peers, or know the same information and can
share it, they feel more equal
Eye-opening
I have learned about so many assistive technologies, electronic-based and otherwise
Hoping your students will learn something and actually seeing them learn it are two
different things
Seeing and knowing that these children deserve the same education as their peers because
they can do it, and they can do it in an inclusion classroom
4. Assistive technology in my current
classroom
FM system for a student with hearing problems
I wear a microphone and he has a small speaker that he
gets every time we sit on the carpet (which is a lot)
It makes it easier for him to
hear; sometimes, when we
both forget he needs to take
it with him to the carpet, he
is more easily distracted and
does not even try to pay attention
because he cannot hear me very well
5. Assistive technology in my current
classroom
Dynavox
My student is nonverbal (except for noises) and she uses this
computer-like machine to communicate with people
peers, teachers, parents, etc.
She navigates it very well, opening
and closing different windows to
locate the words she wants to say
Voice that speaks sounds like a little
girl, so it seems more realistic that
she is the one talking
The other students love it! They love
to hear this student “talk” using her
“box” and enjoy having conversations with her, too
6. Assistive technology in my current
classroom
Slant board
Helps with student writing skills
Helps a lot with their letter formation
Benefits how they hold their pencils and overall work
products
7. Assistive technology in my current
classroom
iPad
We have a lab in our school for all students to access 30 iPads
Have apps for all student needs
I use them mostly for extra practice for students who are struggling
in a specific area
ProLoQuo2Go
Similar to the Dynavox
Allows people to communicate without
talking
We do not have this app, but it would be
beneficial to some of my students
Because they are nonverbal or are difficult to
understand due to speech difficulties
8. Assistive technology I have learned
about and would like to use
TouchWindow
Screen that fits over a computer monitor and makes it a
touch screen
One of my students has a lot of difficulty using a mouse,
and this would enable her to easily navigate a computer
9. Assistive technology I have learned
about and would like to use
Mimio board
Using a projector and a small mount on a whiteboard, your regular whiteboard
is turned into an interactive board!
Allows you to stream anything from your computer to the whiteboard
Provides lesson plans and allows you to create lessons to be interactive for your
students
Can make anything on your computer interactive
PDF files
Word files
PowerPoint presentations
Web pages
You (and your students) can add, delete, and
change all of these to teach about any topic
Especially beneficial kinesthetic learners because
they are actually “doing” instead of just sitting and listening
Special needs students would benefit from larger print and ability to interact
with the lesson instead of just watching (as with all students)
